The invitation extends to the likes of sales and IT staff at Trinity Mirror’s Canary Wharf HQ in London and its Central Quay one in Glasgow.

In a statement, Trinity Mirror adds: “The [voluntary redundancy] scheme also covers non-editorial staff employed by MGN who work outside of London. The scheme will run until the end of February and will consider requests from staff at all levels.”

It is not yet known exactly how many voluntary redundancies are being sought.
